Book cover Acoustic Emission Testing

Abstract

AE techniques have been extensively studied in concrete engineering for approximately five decades (Ruesch 1959). They are applied to practical applications (Ohtsu 1987) and are standardized in the code (NDIS2421 2000). This is because the increase in aging structures and disastrous damages due to recent earthquakes urgently demand for maintenance and retrofit of reinforced concrete structures in service. It results in the need for the development of advanced and effective inspection techniques. Thus, AE techniques draw a great attention to diagnostic applications in concrete.
